The busiest day in Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport`s history

The day of Europe League Final 2012, the 9th of May, when about 13,000 supporters arrived by charters, the total number of passengers that landed here being around 24,000, while the average number of passengers landing on a normal day is about 10,000, was the busiest day in the history of Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport. There was a total number of 311 aircraft movements and the number of passengers processed (arrivals and departures) on the 9th of May was 34,000.

The 15,000 fans who turned Henri Coanda International Airport into a Spanish fiesta arrived by 63 aircraft, the total landings on Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport reaching 184. To meet this major operational challenge, a runway was converted into parking, hosting 66 aircrafts, which occupied over 2 km of the total length of the runway.

With responsibility and professionalism, the test of the busiest days in the history of Henri Coanda Airport was passed successfully, Europe League Final being, therefore, a winning bet for Bucharest Airports National Company.
